Stuart’s ST-100, which has demonstrated corneal nerve repair and neuroprotection capabilities in pre-clinical studies, achieved a variety of endpoints in its dry eye disease Phase 2 trial, consistent with a first of its kind nerve reparative approach to the disease, and also addressing all of the DEWS II consequences.
Epithelial cells of multiple types produce and interact with the extracellular matrix to maintain structural integrity and promote healthy function within diverse endogenous tissues. Collagen is a critical component of the matrix, and challenges to collagen’s stability in aging, disease,and injury influence survival of adherent epithelial cells…
Vision loss through the degeneration of retinal ganglion cell (RGC) axons occurs in both chronic and acute conditions that target the optic nerve.
Optic neuropathies are a major cause of visual disabilities worldwide, causing irreversible vision loss through the degeneration of retinal ganglion cell (RGC) axons, which comprise…
